Abstract

This study aims to develop a Learning Object Repository (LOR) prototype for scientific writing. The research design follows the Waterfall approach which consists of four stages, namely analysis, design, coding, and testing. This study was conducted from June to December 2023, involving 136 students and 6 lecturers at Buddhist Higher Education Institutions in Indonesia. The results showed that: (1) Stakeholders showed urgency towards the development of scientific writing LOR that can be used in learning and accommodating teaching materials in the curriculum. LOR users are classified into two groups, namely knowledge seekers and knowledge holders; (2) Back-end and front-end designs are carried out to facilitate users in managing data in the form of Learning Objects (LO) in LOR. These LOs are in the form of scientific writing teaching materials in various formats, such as courses, learning modules, learning videos, e-books, learning infographics, and learning portfolios, which are presented in PDF, image, video, zip, excel, and URL formats; (3) The results of testing all LOR system functionality are declared valid, indicating that this system is ready to use and has been tested on a wider scale. Users gain positive experiences from utilizing LOR as a means of collaboration in providing learning resources for scientific writing. However, to improve the effectiveness and user acceptance of LOR, in-depth evaluation of user satisfaction, development of additional features, content development, development of a knowledge management model, exploration of the integration of the latest technology, and analysis of sustainability and maintenance are needed. © Little Lion Scientific.
